Overview
Craft CMS is a content operations tool for teams evaluating how to improve organic search, AI discovery, or content operations. Craft CMS is a self-hosted content management system for custom fields, structured entries, users, sections, localization, and developer-led websites.
It is most useful for custom marketing sites. The practical question is whether the team needs this capability alone, or whether the bigger bottleneck is turning ideas and findings into published pages.
